I think the only Harvards there were 15, 52, 53, 57, 65 and 78. So everything covered... (or at least I didn't see any others) [/quote]
Yep, me and Zac were chatting about that, every Harvard at the show was replicated on the Alphasim model!
Did you figure out your smokesystem problem with that btw Zac?

I was really bummed at the time when they canceled the Whitianga show due WX, but the way things have turned out, it was probably the best thing that could have happened![/quote]
Agreed!

Haha, small world isn't it, I think I was sitting right behind you on the return flight! Next time come and say hi.

The mentioned video collage of landings and takeoffs can be viewed here:

What a god!

Awesome footage. Thanx for passing it on.

Look forward to catching up with all (NZFF Members) at some stage.

I'm here in Wanganui, if you are down this way let me know.

I can pick you up etc, and if you need it maybe put you up.

Cheers

That footpage is far too shaky to be classified as awesome Derek, but I'm happy you enjoyed it

Anyone know if there's a show at Whenuapai this year? It always seems to be the best kept secret in Auckland ... till the day before[/quote]

'The next open day is likely to be at Whenuapai in Auckland next year, with a return to Ohakea in 2010.'

Shall we organise a NZFF convention at NZWP?

What an event.

Keen? I can help to organise, can imagine many will.

For sure, i'm pretty sure that there will be at least one or two NZFF reps at every airshow in the country from now on!

The easy rule for everyone to rememebr is 'Meet at the tower at 12', you can't go wrong

Aaah - mystery solved! Thanks for digging that one out. Nice to see it was a 30k turnout at Ohakea, according to that article

30'000? Wow, they reckoned around 20k at Whenuapai last year, and Ohakea seemed way less crowded to me.
